“I don’t hate group ABC. I just hate group XYZ that happens to be almost solely composed of members of ABC.”

Next you will be arguing why hating blues, jazz and rap with every fibre of your being isn’t racist.

And to further show why your analogy doesn’t work:

P(Person being white | Person being male) = P(Person being white).

Being white and being male is unrelated and separate (<=> statistically independent), unlike being a furry and being queer which is actually related as mentioned earlier.

I have no clue what you’re trying to say. How many women are men?

Exactly zero, because (excluding certain trans identities for the purpose of simplification) there is no intersection between the two groups. Talking about what it means to be a men doesn’t involve a single woman, therefore it doesn’t apply to them.

Hating a primarily queer subgroup has very much homophobic implications, the same way the war on drugs is obviously racist:

We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or Black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and Blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities

• A certain honest man

separate and unrelated

P(Person is queer | Person is furry) > P(Person is queer), therefore these are not separate and unrelated

50% of mythology is just fetish, just check out Greek mythology. People most definitely masturbated to mythology in the past based on the amount of fetish oozing out of the stories.

You can’t tell me the ancient Greek equivalent to furries didn’t think Zeus transforming into animals and fucking was hot.

I don’t have anything productive to respond, althogh I do have a single, very important question:

HOW did you write this entire thing in the bus?! Using a laptop in a bus is (for me) just extremely uncomfortable but if you typed this entire thing on the phone your bus ride must have been 2 hours or so

Not wearing a helmet on a bike isn’t that unreasonable though. I’ve seen studies that show a positive relation between a cyclist wearing protective gear and cars driving more aggressively around them. So you might actually be less likely to have an accident than when wearing safety gear, since the vast majority are caused by car drivers.

I genuinely believe the NSA et al is targeting those who attempt to avoid all targeting more than the average person. It’s difficult to avoid being tracked, it’s nearly impossible to additionally blend in with an unsuspicious façade. Might as well become a secret agent if you’re capable of avoiding the NSA’s gaze.

Large collateral damage is a percentage.

An attack that targets and harms mostly combatants with little collateral damage is not indiscriminate. I’m curious what the ratio of combatants to noncombatants is before arguing whether this attack was a war crime.

I’d argue it’s vegan to use animal products if and only if the animal has died through no means of your own and you are not indirectly causing more exploitation.

Second hand leather is not vegan because you indirectly support the leather industry by fueling demand for leather. Someone may be more inclined to purchase something made of leather if they know they can resell it at a later date (like a leather sofa).

However, I’d argue eating roadkill you accidentally killed yourself would qualify as vegan since there are no moral issues with that - consuming it doesn’t fuel the demand for animal exploitation. Additionally, it causes you to consume less food produced through industrial agriculture (which is not sustainable in its current form), making kt better for the environment.

For me, exploitation := intentionally harming an animal as a means to an end

Not really, the new value is 0.0001% of the old.

Just because the number has barely fewer digits doesn’t mean it’s barely smaller

I don’t get what you’re saying. Why wouldn’t floor 0 be in the building if we started assigning numbers to floors?

Yes, but I was talking about assigning numbers from a logical perspective, not a conventional one.

Also, why is it called B1 for the first basement floor but not E1 (for elevated) for the floor above ground floor?

You are completely wrong.

Imagine assigning to each floor a whole number.

Every time you go down a floor, the number should be decremented by 1, every time you go up a floor the number should be incremented by 1.

In order to get symmetry, floor 0 should be the ground floor - not floor 1. What maniac would assign floor 0 to the first basement floor?
